The Toyota Venza sees no major changes following its debut for the 2009 model year. This 4-door, 5-passenger wagon slots between the Camry sedan and Highlander crossover SUV in size and price. It shares some of its basic design with both those vehicles. Venza continues in a single trim level, with a choice of two engines and front- or all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 182-horsepower 2.7-liter 4-cylinder.
Also offered is a 268-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Each engine teams with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Four-cylinder models can tow up to 2,500 pounds, and the V6 up to 3,500 pounds. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front-side airbags, and curtain-side airbags. Four-cylinder models have standard 19-inch wheels, while V6 versions have standard 20-inch wheels.
